On the 23rd of September 2019 Laura Mattys succesfully defended her PhD entitled Coming of age: A multi-method inquiry into young adulthood & autism. Laura investigated the experiences of Flemish young adults with an autism diagnosis and their parents and caregivers using qualitative and quantitative research methods. She will join the NeuroEpigenEthics team as a postdoc as of the first of October. Congratulations, Laura!
In the context of the project NeuroEpigenEthics, Leni Van Goidsenhoven brings in life experiences by using arts-based research methods. Together with the artist Karel Verhoeven, she is currently making a video work about swinging. With this video, they want to take up and respond to Patty Douglas’s call for “re-thinking communication, queer (relations to) movement and objects, and radicalizing relationality” (2019: 8).
